Toledo is the fourth most populous city of Ohio, U.S. that sits on the banks of the Maumee River, serving as one of the main ports in Ohio for Lake Erie. Its rich history is still evident in the architecture and culture of the city. The city is known as the Glass City because of its long history of glass manufacturing, including a huge collection and several large glass companines, originating from here, playing an important role in the economy of Toledo.

The Toledo Museum of Art is one of the biggest attractions in the city, that holds approximately 30,000 works of art, including works by Picasso, Monet and Matisse

Another great attraction of the city is The Toledo Zoo, located just south of downtown, hailed by many as the single best zoo in all of America. Toledo is surrounded by plenty of green space for recreation from hiking and birding to camping, fishing, and mountain biking. Toledo’s downtown area is a medley of architecture, and there are a number of historic buildings that have been redeveloped and repurposed into spaces like artist housing, making it a home for arts and culture within the state.
